SiegedSec hackers released data from the Heritage Foundation.
The group, known as SiegedSec and known as the "gay furry hackers," claimed responsibility for hacking the online databases of the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation. This organization is the initiator of the right-wing conservative plan Project 2025.
On Wednesday, as part of a series of attacks targeting organizations that oppose transgender rights, SiegedSec published materials from the Heritage Foundation. In a post on Telegram, the hackers called Project 2025 "an authoritarian plan by Christian nationalists to reform the US government."
The attack was part of the #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted right-wing conservative media outlet Real America's Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.
In the preface to the Project 2025 manifesto, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts is critical of the "toxic normalization of transgenderism" and the " ubiquitous promotion of transgender ideology." Other authors of the plan call on the "next conservative administration" to cancel certain policies, including allowing transgender people to serve in the military.
In a Telegram post, SiegedSec said it had obtained passwords and other information from users of the Heritage Foundation database, including data from Roberts and some US government employees. The remaining portion of the more than 200 GB of files, according to hackers, was "mostly useless."
The Intercept edition checked copies of files provided by the Distributed Denial of Secrets team. They contained archives of the Heritage Foundation's blogs and related media resources, such as The Daily Signal, for November 2022.
This is at least the second hack of the Heritage Foundation this year. In April, the organization shut down its network after a cyberattack allegedly carried out by state hackers. According to a SiegedSec representative, they were not involved in the previous attack, but in early June they again targeted the Heritage Foundation.
Recent SiegedSec operations have also targeted the nuclear program of the US, NATO and Israeli companies in protest of the war in Gaza.
